| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The amygdala processes emotional information and transfers that information to the _______ so that that structure can process it with long term memory | Hippocampus |
| The amygdala is closely linked with processing of ______ | Emotion |
| The hypothalamus is a subcortical structure, true or false? | True |
| What is regulated by the hypothalamus? | Sexual satisfaction, hunger, pain, anger and aggression (all of the above) |
| Which of the following is not considered a type of dyskinesia? | Seizures |
| This group of neurons is found in the brainstem and communicates with the thalamus, it is important in alertness, attention, and sleep/wake cycles | Reticular formation |
| What is the center where all sensory info is processed and acts as a relay station to control information coming and going out from a variety of cortical areas? | Thalamus |
| The thalamus only processes sensory information, not motor information as well, true or false? | False |
| The thalamus is a relay station for sensory and motor information, true or false? | True |
| Information processed in the limbic system is highly driven by all of our senses, but especially by? | Smell |
| Because it helps to control the autonomic nervous system, the hypothalamus controls what? | Respiratory rate, heart rate, appetite and digestion |
| This gyrus is major component of the limbic system | Cingulate gyrus |
| Your ability to empathize with another is processed in the | Cingulate gyrus |
| This deep structure of the brain works to initiate motor movement | Basal ganglia |
| The ascending reticular activating system works to maintain your posture and other motor movements key in your equilibrium, true or false? | False |
| This deep brain structure integrates all sensory information (except for smell), where most of the information our brain processes has to pass through on its way to other parts (i.e. frontal lobes, motor strip, etc.) | Thalamus |
| Impairments in muscular function- or movement disorders, such as dyskinesias or dystonias, are often due to impairments in one or more of the deep structures of the brain, true or false? | True |
| Parkinson's disease is caused by damage to the basal ganglia, specifically the thalamus | Substantia nigra |
| Your memories are stored within your hippocampus, true or false? | False |
| The hippocampus is important for memory & is one of the first structures in the brain to degenerate the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Stored memories, usually geographic memories how to get from your house to the store & back, begin to degrade, T or F?. | True |
| Which of the following are NOT considered part of the limbic system? | Supplemental motor area |
| The ________________ has close connections with the prefrontal cortex and may have a great deal to do with processing pleasure and/or addiction | Ventral tegmental area |
| The _________ is a small area situated between the cerebral hemispheres. It contains the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the subthalamus, and the epithalamus? | Diencephalon |
| The red nucleus is often associated with the basal ganglia, and is an important component of the extrapyramidal system and is important for motor movement, true or false? | True |
| An un-identifiable word (like "spleeg" when the person is trying to name a picture of a "chair") is called a _________? | Neologism |
| The prefrontal cortex does not fully develop until age? | 23-26 |
| The limbic system controls or mediates all aspects of emotional/motivational functioning including? | Desire to eat food, feelings ranging from extreme love to rage, sexual desire (all of the above) |
| The limbic lobe is located on the _________ surface of the cerebrum | Medial |
| The hypothalamus works to help regulate our body's hemostasis, true or false? | True |
| All of the cranial nerve nuclei can be found in the tegmentum of the brainstem, true or false? | True |
| On the dorsal side of the midbrain, you'll find the tectum and colliculi, true or false? | True |
| Much like the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum is made up of both grey and white matter, true or false? | True |
| Motor commands are initiated in the cerebellum, true or false? | False |
| If the cerebellum is damaged, your patient may exhibit impaired sexual function or reduced inhibitions, true or false? | False |
| Some motor reflexes, such as the knee jerk reflex, are processed quickly at the level of the spinal cord, rather than traveling all the way up to the cortex, true or false? | True |
| There are _______ pairs of spinal nerves | 31 |
| With lower motor neuron damage, we tend to see more hyper- related changes (i.e. hypertonicity, spasticity, hyperreflexia), true or false? | False |
| Like the cortex, the spinal cord is composed of both grey and white matter, true or false | True |
| The cerebral peduncles connect the brainstem to the cerebellum, true or false? | True |
| The pons of the brain stem is the part of the brainstem that is the main bridge from the cerebellum to the rest of the nervous system, true or false? | True |
| If we sliced the brainstem up like a loaf of bread and pulled out a piece from the midbrain, the core or very most inner part of the midbrain is called the tegmentum and that’s where you find the red nucleus and the substantia nigra, true or false? | True |
| Which of the following is NOT a function of the cerebellum? | Emotional regulation |
| Motor commands are initiated in the cerebellum, true or false? | False |
| Motor neuron fibers move through the ___________ horn of the spinal cord and aid in both voluntary and involuntary motor movements? | Ventral |
| Which of the following orders the parts of the spinal cord correctly, starting with the one most inferiorly and finishing with the most anterior one? | Sacral, lumbar, thoracic, cervical |
| The ___________ links the brain with the body | Spinal cord |
| Some sensory information is initially processed at the level of the spinal cord, true or false? | True |
| The white matter of the spinal cord contains both ascending and descending pathways, called columns, that carry information both to and from the brain, true or false? | True |
| The cerebellum joins to the rear of the medulla by the 3 pairs of stalks called peduncles, true or false? | True |
| The central core of the brain stem, which runs the length of the brain stem, contains all of the cranial nerves and the reticular formation, true or false? | True |
| Damage to the cerebellum may cause what type of speech problem? | Dysarthia |
| Which of the following is NOT a function of the cerebellum? | Initiate muscle movement |
| Motor commands are initiated in the cerebellum, true or false? | False |
| Motor information from the peripheral nervous system comes into the spinal cord via the dorsal root of each spinal nerve, true or false? | False |
| Which of the following is NOT part of the four regions of the spinal cord? | Saccule |
| The central canal of the spinal cord is air-filled, true or false? | False |
| Surrounding the gray matter in the spinal cord is white matter containing myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers, true or false? | True |
